If there was one game that could show it could still keep up with the next generation of consoles despite being on an older platform it has to be Grand Theft Auto Five. The game was a smash success last year and continues to this day to sell thousands of copies, it has broken many records for selling the most copies in media history and with a thriving online community of many people continue to play it months after release. There are however some people who feel like the online gameplay has gotten a little stale recently though as not many updates have come out but according to rumours this will soon change as there are probably many different planned DLC packs to come out.

One of the most exciting of course was the leak about casino gameplay coming to Grand Theft Auto Five and the fact that you would be able to play many different casino games with your friends online, games similar to those that you can download here. There is already a casino within Grand Theft Auto however at the moment if you visit it has an opening soon sign on the outside which to some people is yet more confirmation that the casino will one day open for the hordes of players to enjoy.

This however will not satisfy everybody as a simple gameplay look like a casino does not even come close to comparing to the likes of old DLC for Grand Theft Auto Four with add-ons such as The Lost and Damned. This is because these DLC packages are full pieces of story with new characters and interesting twists for you to enjoy as you play an already solid game. Nobody knows what the future will hold for Grand Theft Auto apart from Rockstar and they are keeping tight-lipped about it but you can be sure it will be a good time for all.

Canadians love a good game of bingo and the advent of online sites has made the game open and accessible to everyone, regardless of age, background and financial status.

Bingo is a simple, but fun game, which involves random numbers being selected by the bingo caller, or host, which the players have to match to the random numbers on their bingo card. The first person to match a line or a full card wins a prize – it’s that simple!

Bingo halls - the social way to play bingo in Canada

The onslaught of online bingo has meant that bingo hall owners in Canada have had to up their game dramatically to keep the customers coming through the door, as they now have to persuade people that it is worth coming out in the cold and dark in the middle of winter to play their favorite game. They have done this by:-

- Making the bingo halls or parlors an inviting place to be. They are now buildings that are warm in winter and cool in summer, have comfortable seating and loads of facilities such as restaurants, great sound systems, music and other entertainment.

- Offering special promotions, such as reduced priced tickets on certain days of the week.

- Promoting Canadian bingo as a game for all ages, not just the traditional image of a lady in her sixties or seventies going to the hall once a week for a game with her friends.

- Offering great cash prizes that can run into thousands of dollars.

- Opening bingo halls in locations that are convenient to get to. You will find that if you live in a populated area, there is a place where you can play bingo not too far away.

- Generally making playing bingo much more of a social event and a place to meet your friends as well as making new ones. All in all, a great evening out.
